Oklahoma's Move Over law requires drivers to change lanes when approaching tow trucks, emergency vehicles, and other first responders stopped on the roadside with activated lights, with violations carrying fines up to $500 and potential jail time, according to Graves McLain Injury Lawyers. The law was enacted to protect the operators who work in the most dangerous positions on the highway.
